Wishlist, suggestions and ideas for new gems - for 0.5 and going forward!

Dear fellow exiles and GGG,

As promised, here comes my wishlist + suggestions for 0.5 and moving forward.
Feel free to discuss and comment on them below.

disclaimer: Yes, I know some of the ideas are broken - but we need more stuff like this in the game, in my opinion.

I accidentally submitted this post before finishing it - I will add more to it later.

I have structuered this post into the following sections:

1. Skill and support gems
2. Passive tree
3. Endgame
4. Trade
5. Itemization
6. SSF


Skill and support gems
In this section I will come with a few ideas for a couple of gems I think would be really cool to add into the game. I've tried my best to come up with names that fits the names of the current lineage games.

1a. Skill gems
Apart from new exciting skill gems based on the coming weapons types (swords, axes, daggers etc.) there are some skills from PoE 1 I would like to see implemented. These include: Absolution, Brand skills, Spectral throw and Mine and trap skills.

I would love to see more monsters in the spectre pool too. The Primal Spirit would be particularly cool to add!

Moreover, here are some new ideas for existing weapon types and categories:

Bola Grenade
Fire a grenade that explodes into a net that pins and bleeds enemies hit on impact.
Explodes on impact.
Consumes 20 heat if possible to instead ignite on hit and gain 20 % of damage as fire damage.
Net pin duration is 8 seconds.
Net radius is 5 metres.

Fire an icy grenade that explodes into many ice fragments. These fragments can merge. Deals more damage to frozen enemies.
Explosion:
Detonation time is 3 seconds.
Converts 80 % of physical damage to cold damage.
Fragments:
Explodes into 20 fragments.

20 % more damage to frozen enemies.


Slug Shot
Fire a short ranged single heavy round that has very high damage, more critical chance and pierces all enemies, but has significantly reduced attack speed.
Pierces all targets.
30 % more critical chance.
Consumes 20 heat if possible to gain 50 % of damage as fire damage.
35 % less attack speed.


Overpressurized Chamber
Causes your next bolt to explode on hit, temporarily increasing reload time.


Summon Flesh Golem
Summons a huge golem of flesh and bone that consumes your other minions to gain more damage and slam enemies when commanded. Commanding the golem makes it lose the damage gained until new minions are consumed.
Command skill: Unholy slam


Summon Skeletal Scribe
Summons a skeletal scribe that is able to store damage dealt over time and can unleash the damage stored when commanded.
Command skill: Unleash


Summon Skeletal Assasins
Summons skeletal assasins that attack in melee and can throw daggers when commanded.
Command skill: Throwing daggers





I haven't played a lot with Quarterstaves or Bow skills, so maybe someone else in the forum has some cool ideas for those?


1b. Support gems
Lingering Spirits
Supports minion skills. Killed minions leave behind a small pile of volatile bones that acts as hazardous areas. Deals 35 % of maximum life of minions.


Heavy Grip
Supports melee skills. More area of effect and stun build up at the cost of speed.

Support spells. Repeated lightning hits with stores damage and deals a powerful discharge when reaching maximum.


1c. Persistent buffs

Pulverizing Oath
A persistent buff that causes aftershocks from your slam skills to pull in enemies towards the center of the aftershock and apply a stacking debuff on enemies hit.
You deal 10 % more attack damage per debuff on enemies. Maximum 5 stacks.


Herald of Ruin

I would like to see some fire quarterstaff skill and more chaos skills (monk only has hand of chipotle right now)

For spells i would also like more chaos spells and more ways to get infusions and charges

For crossbow i was thinking about a nuke grenade, a single massive grenade (that cant gain increased projectiles) with a massive explosion and that leaves poison gas after it

And for warrior maybe some more elemental attacks that are not fire (cold, lightning and even a chaos slam)
Shrapnel grenade

Fires a grenade that deals physical damage with a high chance to cause bleeding.

Flechette rounds

Loads a shot that fires projectiles in a cone, that can apply bleeding. Projectiles can merge.

Choked barrel

Supported skill has 40% narrower spread, but at the cost of -20% damage.
"
Flechette rounds

Compined power support gem (Red)
